Looking at my WU's I noticed that some end in -0, others in -1
and the rest in -2.

Am I correct in assuming that these numbers that these number
mean the first, second and third time a WU is distributed?


But what about those ending in "-0" ??

I've got a few of those and I've already sent back results on a
few more...!


That would designate the first time a WU is sent out.



Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I think I mis-read the original posting as I thought the convention
was:
-1 = 1st time out
-2 = 2nd time out, etc.


So the file name ending convention is actually:

-0 = 1st time sent out
-1 = 2nd time sent out
-2 = 3rd time sent out


so presumably:
-3 = 4th time sent out

Does that imply that at least one of the first three times a
particular WU has been sent out, has not been returned within the 14
day window?


Dunno, haven't seen a -3, you?
